- In this short note, we introduce probabilistic Cauchy functional equations, specifically, functional equations of the following form: $$ f(X_1 + X_2) \stackrel{d}{=} f(X_1) + f(X_2), $$ where $X_1$ and $X_2$ represent two independent identically distributed real-valued random variables governed by a distribution $μ$ having appropriate support on the real line. The symbol $\stackrel{d}{=}$ denotes equality in distribution. When $μ$ follows an exponential distribution, we provide sufficient (regularity) conditions on the function $f$ to ensure that the unique measurable solution to the above equation is solely linear. Furthermore, we present some partial results in the general case, establishing a connection to integrated Cauchy functional equations.
